To all the Neighbourlyhood and beyond, may the season bless you with all you need and some of what you want. May you always shine your inner light upon those who live in darkness and may your love be ever greater the the hate you may face.

I am not religious, but I am faithful. I believe we all are connected and without each and every one of us there is a piece missing. If you feel a piece missing, reach out. Make a call, send a letter, an email, a card or even a kind thought. You never know who you might reach and what piece you may bring in, or what peace you may send out.

Not just for one time a year, but all year and all time and not just for those who believe as you, but for all.
